Thanks you very much for all the replies. I'm going to go out tomorrow morning and give it another go.

I finally got out this morning for my first time on the Bow. It was quite the humbling experience. I tried the 2 nymph set up described by Rickr and San Juan. Spent a ton of time trying to adjust my split shot and strike indicator. There is sure alot to learn about "nymphing". There were lots of caddis' flying around but nothing rising. I imagine this doesn't happen til the sun goes down. There river had about 3 foot visibilty down by Fish Creek/ 22x

Thanks a bunch. I'm gonna give this set up a go tomorrow. Any ideas on which flies i should be trying ?

Thanks for the tips guys ! I just finished reading the nymphing primer with your nymphing for dummies at the end, SJW. I think this info will help a ton. My next question is how far up from the first fly would I put a split shot.

I'm a long time lurker and first time poster. I just moved from Grande Prairie to Calgary a few weeks ago and decided to get back into flyfishing after a 20 year break. I have never fished with dry flies or nymphs and was wondering if someone knows of a good book for nymph fishing ? It sounds like that is the way to go on the Bow from what I've read. I grew up on the west coast in Terrace, fishing for salmon and steelhead with streamers. It sounds like dries and nymphs are way more technical, but i would love to learn. Thanks for any help. This site is awesome and has lots of great info.
